For weeks now, the tension around Hank Henshaw has been building. In the comics, the character is one of Superman’s most dangerous foes, but Supergirl took a different route. As executive producer Andrew Kreisberg remembers it, he and two more of the show’s EPs realized that Hank didn’t necessarily have to go bad. “What if it’s a good secret?”
In the final moments of Monday night’s episode, it’s revealed that Hank’s suspicious red eyes and super-strength belong to Martian Manhunter, an original member of the Justice League and, in Kreisberg’s words, “he turns out to not only be good, but literally be the most good person in the DC universe.”
“That’s something very uncomfortable for him because he realizes Kara’s beautiful, attractive, and blond, and gorgeous — and I’m this 7-foot green martian.” Harewood is hesitant to use the term “coming out of the closet,” but like a lot of their social commentary, the metaphors used in the show can stand in for a lot of different things.
Though Martian Manhunter has been around since 1955 in the comics, he’s not one of the most high-profile DC characters.
